Clearblue Fertility Monitor Support Group Buddies Vol 5!!

so pleased storm xxx

Thanks Lychees, let's hope it is our turn very soon

Not having anymore nookie tonight as DH off for second SA test tomorrow - we last did it on Saturday eve so am hoping that's long enough for him to produce a decent sample...doc told him not to 'produce' for 2-4 days before the test, so should be ok.

Pink, I didn't take your post that way at all. You're right ... everyone deserves their bit of good luck. It doesn't stop you from thinking "when is that going to be me?", though. But another pg announcement doesn't take away your chance. There is not a finite number of people that can be pregnant at one time. It could be your turn soon.

It's the same with my colleague. I'd be happy for her if she was pregnant but I'd find it v. hard sitting next to her every day.

Just looked back at my last post and it looks really selfish of me - ofcourse I'm happy for her really, but it's hard not to think 'why isn't it my turn?' especially when I've been trying for just over a year and she got lucky on her 2nd month...but I know that's not how it works.

Welcome back, Missy.

Storm that's fantastic news .

Pink, it's difficult not to be a bit . I'm finding it harder and harder. My colleague is also ttc now [she wasn't pg in Dec after all] but she has told me how totally devastated she was when AF arrived that time ... in cycle 2 . I don't think I can be the person she leans on right now.

Boba, perhaps the delay is because I'd been pretty poorly for a week and a half after Xmas [?]. I hope it's not a permanent change . As for injecting myself, needles don't bother me much but I'm pretty nervous about doing it. It has to be done though so I'm just going to not over-think it and just go for it.

Ah that's fantastic news Storm am really pleased for you.

And congrats Boba well done you! Hope it's a lucky omen for the whole thread and 2011

Think I ov-ed yesterday, started charting aswell last month (obessed?!) and both CBFM and chart would suggest I did, and today I had a bit of pink spotting which I'm taking as an Ov sign. Might have one last session with DH tonight then hang up my knickers for the 2ww

Lyschees how typical that Peak doesn't arrive just when you most need it too, hope you're not too stressed.

Had a pregnancy announcement from a RL TTC buddy today, mixed feelings but I'm doing my best to be happy for her.

Hi, updated Stats - am afraid I only did the top column, as I keep getting them wrong!

MissRaines - so glad you had a nice time away relaxing, and sending dh to dr's sounds like a good plan of action.

Storm - so pleased for you. What week are you at now?

Lychees - all the best for your IUI, remember Boba got a bfp with her first treatment, all is possible!!

As for me, am having a month off ttc, as the stress is not helping my relationship with myself or dh. So will keep my stats here, but purposely missing my fertile time and trying to focus on keeping going, ready for next month ttc again! If that makes sense.

Hi Ladies,

Good News - we're all clear for Downs Syndrome! Can't quite believe it, I'd convinced myself of bad news. I've not stopped crying since midday. I'm so happy! Thanks for your support through this girls.

Lychees good luck with the IUI.

Missy nice to see you are back, hope you enjoyed your holiday.

xx

Awwwww well done boba that gives us all hope.

Sorry I've not been attending school, I'm trying to not obsess over it - easier said than done. Now Christmas and new year is out of the way and we are back from a week snowboarding, I'm sending hubby off to the doctors. I've updated my stats so I'm back in school.

Will keep you all posted.

Grrrr ... had my scan and one follicle has only grown a little and the other one is still not quite there yet. So tomorrow night, I have to inject myself to trigger ovulation for IUI on Thursday. Unless I get my peak tomorrow morning, in which case, I need to phone my clinic for a change of plan. I'm finding this bit quite stressful.

And what has happened to my peak? I've normally had it by now! Has anyone ever heard of Clomid making your cycle longer?

Sorry about the "selfish" post. Hope everyone is well.

Congratulations Boba, it's lovely to hear such good news

Boba - how many tests? Did the CBFM turn you into a stick addict - and now it is preg test sticks - yep to you staying here! Have to encourage the rest of us!

OMG Boba I am so so so so so so Happy for you, when I saw you got your BFP my jaw was on the ground and I was nearly in tears. CONGRATULATIONS I am so pleased for you both and proud of you, you are an true inspiration. Well Done.

I'm ok (thanks for asking) still feeling a little fragile but ok nonetheless. So far so good. Not thinking about the test results though.

Frootbat I swear by temping, it was only when I seariously started temping together with using the CBFM that I got my BFP (and I'd been told that doing both together wasn't a good idea). Good luck.

boba - WHOOOPPEEEEE!!!!! Congratulations
I really hope everything works out for you and the scan will put your mind at rest.

mumofloads - thank you for your post. You sound a truly amazing woman :)
I agree with what you said - everyone on this thread is so lovely and supportive :)

Keziah - really feel for you. Can't be easy trying to think about ttc but there is still a chance, even if you think it is a small one.

KnackeredCow - sounds like you've got quite a bit to keep you busy. What made you pick italian to learn?

dogs - we have 2 cocker spaniels. They are completely mad!

I've not had the best of days. Everything seemed a bit rubbish at work and then one member of staff decided to pat my tummy and ask what was there! I just shook my head and said my scarf under my coat (I did have them both on at the time). I was so embarrassed! I really don't think I'm that overweight!

AF just got me this evening too so CD1 tomorrow for me! I knew there was no chance this month so sort of pleased that we can now focus on the new cycle.

Hello to everyone else I've not name-checked. I might go to bed with a hot water bottle - especially as I have work again in the morning.

boba i am absolutely thrilled to see that you are pregnant i'm so utterly delighted for you and will be thinking of you and hoping this is a smooth ride for you xxx

Have plonked self back down to bottom of list - decided am going to do temp thing as well this month, not v good at keeping it up, but hoping will be less forgetful this time.
Thrilled for you Boba, thats brilliant news - don't let the doc's comments ruin this for you - what will be, will be - you've done it - enjoy - will have a drink for you tonight.
xx

boba - now don't disappear, we have been on here too long together!! You have given my hope now !

KC - glad you have the dog, course, photography and challenge learning mac's etc ... but if you are walking your dog, would recommend wearing wellies as it is so slippy with the snow. Lots of children wear them to and in school now - it is fashion, personally I think my allotment ones are too boring (plain) so am thinking of pink spots on navy as they might not get lost in the boot of my car and end up ruining my shoes all the time. But perhaps plain, like navy (mine are green) would be better for you - in case your dog likes patterned ones too much?

Coming up to peak and I have no desire to even ttc this month, too low with no hope of fertility treatment - how long does one keep ttc when trying as long as me without fertility treatment?

Ooh - haven't read all of the posts yet, but so so happy for Boba that I just have to post!! - though understand your concerns ... think it is fairly wise to not tell too many people until scans etc after such a long wait. But keep smiling - you got the BFP. So happy for you!
